Solitary intracranial plasmacytomas are exceedingly rare. Before this case report, only 14 cases of solitary dural and 4 cases of intracerebral plasmacytomas had been reported in the literature. We present a case of solitary plasmacytoma originating from the right frontal dura mater in a 52-year-old man; we also review the literature on the previous cases. To our knowledge, our patient is the first patient with a solitary dural plasmacytoma to be examined with magnetic resonance imaging.
